Everton defender Leighton Baines sustained a broken toe in Saturday's Merseyside derby and could be out for up to six weeks, the club have confirmed.

The England international was forced off early in the second half and although he left Goodison Park walking unaided - despite being given some crutches to use - he went straight for an x-ray on his right foot.

After assessment the Toffees' medical team cannot put a definitive timescale for the left-back's recovery, with it estimated to be between 10 days and six weeks.
